One wonders what were the parameters in adjudging Panaji as the cleanest city. The jury perhaps was blindfolded or on a moonwalk. Panaji City which includes our Ribandar sadly remains decaying with dirt strewn all over. The very vital Panaji market and our Kadamba Bus terminal are stinking and in very dire straits, while the St Inez and […]

GOA CM WEAKER THAN THE MHADEI WATER DIVERSION FLOW
As was expected Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has once again fooled Goans and this time on the very crucial Mhadei issue. It was a blow to Goans on the eve of Liberation Day. Merely keeping in abeyance that environmental clearance given to Karnataka is no relief to Goa. It is just a diversionary tactic to […]
OUR GOA NEEDS TO BE LIBERATED AGAIN
Today while we remember and pay tributes to those who tirelessly and selflessly struggled to liberate our Goa, let us not forgive those who over the years have now ruined and destroyed our State particularly the political bandits currently in power who have reduced our once beautiful Goa into a Gambling, Prostitution, Narcotics and Crime […]
GOA’S PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN DIRE STRAITS
To decongest our roads the government should have gone all out to improve the public transport system in the State but it has miserably failed on this front. Being a frequent traveler by bus on the Mapusa-Panaji route it can be seen that almost all those buses would fail a proper fitness test. The buses […]
WHAT REMAINS OF RIBANDAR MUST BE PRESERVED FOR POSTERITY
While gearing up in this festive fevour, a sumptuous authentic Goan fish Thali at ‘Star’ restaurant in our backyard at Sao Pedro with my very dear childhood friend and next door neighbor Francisco Frois who is based in Paris. Star’s Anand as always was an excellent host and his formalin free fish ever so awesome. […]
GOD BLESS OUR GOVENOR
We need to all applaud our proactive Governor Satya Pal Malik for having personally taken up the crucial Mhadei water dispute issue directly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. May the Governor succeed where Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has failed to protect Goa’s wellbeing. During my first interaction with him last month, I found our Governor […]
WELCOME TO A NOW LAWLESS GOA
It is absolutely outrageous that with the tacit blessings of the top bureaucrats in the Goa Government, the organizers of that Serendipity Arts Festival which is currently being held in Goa alike last year are once again merrily flouting every law possible. Their hordes of modified vehicles are moving all around the city including Ribandar with […]
CCP DIGS ITSELF INTO ANOTHER HOLE
While the roads within the jurisdiction of the Corporation of City of Panaji which includes Ribandar are yet once again being dug, the city Mayor and his entourage had a merry weeklong junket in Croatia. After facing the brunt of that digging of roads in the summer, we now have to bear the pain of […]
CM PRAMOD SAWANT BETTER KNOWN AS PROPERTY SAWANT WHO NOW WANTS TO BE MUNDKAR SAWANT SEEMS TO HAVE LOST HIS PATH
It is absolutely despicable and very highly condemnable at the manner in which Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar has been trying in an utterly devious manner to crookedly circumvent the people of Goa on the very crucial Madhei issue. Maybe it’s high time we let him know bluntly that we have had enough of his politriks. On […]
